The Techfest 2018 will take place in the central city of Đà Nẵng this November.

This is an annual event under a project to support the national innovative start-up ecosystem by 2025.

With the theme “Việt Nam - international connectivity", teams will have to go through three rounds.

The designs are required to clearly express the topics of this year, stimulate start-up in the spirit of Vietnamese people and spread it to the world.

Contestants will have the opportunity to win awards up to VNĐ100 million (US$4,500), have a chance to learn and work with experts in the field as well as applying their design ideas to a bigger field on festival day.

First organised in 2015, Techfest has become a prestigious brand, attracting the attention and participation of individuals and organisations in innovative start-up ecosystem, connecting attendants with domestic and international start-ups ecosystems.
